Frankfort, KY – Commonwealth and federal officials will be keeping an eye on next month's election proceedings to try to thwart fraud at the polls. And they're asking for the public's help. Secretary of State Trey Grayson says citizens should report any irregularities they observe to the Election Fraud Hotline at (800)-328-VOTE. The line, normally open during business hours, will be answered on November 2nd from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern, covering the times polls will be open that day. The U.S. attorney's offices in Kentucky are asking anyone who has information regarding fraud or abuse to report it to prosecutors or the FBI.
